her advice
she had advice for me of a sort. she's always right, always and this time must also be. I concur. I will not go east to commit but West. No, not the Mission. they asked me what i would do in the meantime. mean time. they closed their mouths or opened but not in this direction. presented ultimatums. platforms. the power just went out. go ahead tell me it's not a sign. i run this rig on batteries but the house is darkened. (geno)
you say goodbye and I say hello.
i was not prepared. do the steps in order. that's an order, not a suggestion. take me, for example.

what my father did to me (sorry if it's too confessional and not ironic)
okay, i don't want to post this. I am not exhibitionist. However, if i dont tell you dear reader - no one will know what happened.
It began when i was four. Alan Jenks, who is otherwise a wonderful (yet compromised) person, molested me. I've been making peace or failing to make peace with it since then. anyone who reads my books can see this.
I am so very very sorry. I refuse to let the deathwish he instilled in me, that my father created, I refuse to let that run the show. thank god for good mothers. thank god for a good life. thank god for all that is SEEN AND UNSEEN. at least god knows and doesn't judge.
did you know this? my friends? did you know what he did? the cruel and harsh penalty of an ill man. that's all. please pray for him for he will need it. he needs it now.
i will not close my mouth and continue the cycle of silence.
sometimes i wonder openly why i have to be alive. this bare fact remains: to tell the truth and be radically honest for me and for others. I refuse to lie. i won't lie down for him. i've done enough of that. if you ever were harmed by Alan Jenks you tell me please.
all love...allpower.....ywh forgive me
proverbs 31

The Frightful Nobody
I seek to reach you on these last of all possible days.Your spaces know no breach
And in the climb up with you,
In you – or terror walls.
You run your hands through
Their clawed dimming efforts,
"the ceiling even"
It was no surpriseWhen you didn't
Come back out.
You know, they stillRun the ovens.
Nothing has changed,
Lord
Nothing has changed.

the interview
The interview
Why you always come at me with those preludes?
As if introducing the constant would regenerate.
something about the drugs, isn't it. Always.
And a constant farmer, whose plight. The pigeons
Docked and nestled for the winter. You have no
Ideas but could spell out how this was like that
Quite eloquently. Like an army of ……
You see I cant
i can see your talents from the communist eye
Flashing I set up in this here café. "it's wireless"
As if that were an accomplishment. First of all,
It's completely made of wires. Second,
So are we.. there's something to their
swifting ability to bird or strangulate
A whisker or rope. The committee caught
With concern a dialect of violence.
I've composed a meadow to counteract,
It's okay. Full of green, with what wrought
From. Deer blood drinking days
Pauper's graveyard again. In vellum.
Im a gonna git yous it's okay it's hide and seek,
Slicked grass if you put trundle in here that might work
Gassings and psychosexual CIA Argentinian
Training sessions. "political violence"
Against it. It's okay. Everything is checking out
With you today. We've got to vet the
Who youre fucking list and get the gist of who you .
You know. Kindly give us your kindle and bend over
You stupid asshole. Sorry for the hassle,
But everything has to be crystal.
God you're amazing.
